QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
The IPEX Installation Pole is designed to safely install Sesame Technologies' Diamond Engine Shield EX products from ground level, eliminating the need for ladders or stands. Its telescoping, ergonomic design helps technicians reach high-mounted engine intakes and exhausts without compromising safety. This makes it ideal for business jets, commercial airliners, and military aircraft during routine ramp operations or long-term storage prep.
Yes, the IPEX Installation Pole is fully compatible with all Diamond Engine Shield EX products, including horizontal-intake, vertical-intake, and vertical-exhaust variants. Its spring-loaded pivot lock securely connects to the shield’s bell-mouth handle, ensuring a safe, controlled installation every time. This universal fit reduces the need for multiple tools across different aircraft types.
The IPEX pole is built to reduce fall risk by enabling shield installation from the ground. It features a rotating support pad for stability and full-length ergonomic padding to protect the technician in case of accidental drops. Additionally, the smooth-edged, non-metallic components near the head ensure safe use around delicate engine surfaces.
The IPEX pole is available in several extended length ranges to accommodate various aircraft heights: 45" to 127", 54" to 140", 61" to 168", 62" to 153", and 67" to 181". These options allow you to choose the right reach based on the size of your aircraft and specific maintenance needs. Contact Sesame Technologies or PJi® for guidance on the best size for your application.
Yes, optional adapters are available that allow the IPEX pole to install Executive Series pitot probe covers and other Sesame GSE components that are otherwise difficult to reach. This versatility makes it a valuable tool across multiple aircraft protection systems, enhancing its long-term utility on the ramp or in hangars.
The pole body is constructed from anodized aluminum for lightweight strength, while the locking head is made from durable 316L stainless steel. This combination provides corrosion resistance and longevity, even in challenging outdoor environments. It also meets rigorous aviation quality standards, including ISO 9001 and AS9100D.
The IPEX pole’s spring-loaded pivot locking mechanism connects to the engine shield's bell-mouth handle to form a secure joint. This acts like a universal joint, giving the user flexibility during installation while preventing accidental detachment. The shield cannot be released until the operator intentionally disengages the locking head.
